View Poll Results: How do you rate the vintage Dragon Blaster Skeletor figure? (with 10 being the best)

This version of the Evil Lord of Destruction featured a 'dreadful' dragon on his back. This dragon could be filled with water which he could squirt (a la Kobra Khan and the later Snout Spout).

Some promotional shots show this version of Skeletor to wear his pronged belt as the original version did, but no figures were actually released with this belt.

The dragon can be found with a variant mouth - some are painted red, others are plain white.

The figure is fun to play with, with the dragon squirting venom (i.e. water) over their victims, and it's nice for Skeletor to have a pet (although he already has Panthor, but he's too big to fit on his back).

Dragon Blaster Skeletors can be found with a bit of hunting on the second hand market. In my own experience, the chains that run through Skeletor's chest armor and around the dragon are the hardest to find complete.

Needless to say, as with any variants of He-Man or Skeletor, there was never any appearance of DB Skeletor in the Filmation series.

200x didn't really bother with any He-Man or Skeletor variants, so there was no update of this Skeletor and his dreadful dragon.

All-in-all, I like this version of Skeletor. I'll give it a favourable 9 out of 10.

So there are my own thoughts on DB Skeletor.
Now I'd really like to hear your own thoughts, comments, criticisms, memories... anything related to the figure.
And as always, whether you post or not, don't forget to rate the figure in the poll!

I gave him only a 4. Why? Despite the interesting feature of the spitting-dragon (which gave it all its points), I always thought stupid and useless to make manymany variants of the same character. What is the big deal with making many variants like: Regular Skeletor, Dragon-Blaster Skeletor, Battle Armored Skeletor, Evil Claws Skeletor, Bedtime Skeletor, Bathtime Skeletor, Skeletor dressed for the Ball... Skeletor is Skeletor. So, if the makes wanted to make new accessories for Skeletor, to me, they just had to make each accessory LOOSE and being able attaching to ONE Skeletor figure. See what I mean?

The dragon can be found with a variant mouth - some are painted red, others are plain white.

I think you confused Terror Claws Skeletor variants (red and white mouth of a dragon like weapons)...there are a few variants of Dragon Blaster Skeletor but those aren't based on mouth paint of a dragon.

The figure with belt, showed in some Mattel publications is just a prototype which is made from TAIWAN figure (the most recognizable paint job of the face on a soft rubber head as seen in Skeletor and Battle Armor Skeletor figures which were produced in Taiwan), but Dragon Blaster Skeletor was never produced there.http://www.mastersunbound.com/MOTU%2...r_skeletor.jpg
